Dutch Police Mount Major Anti-Terror Raid
From the AFP via the ABC :
Dutch police have mounted a major anti-terror raid in The Hague, the city's Attorney-General has said.

The raid on an apartment came as part of an operation launched by the public prosecutor's office, Hans Moraal said, without giving details.

Three policemen were injured, two seriously, when one of the suspects threw a handgrenade at them, police spokesman Frans Rijnswou said.

Mr Rijnswou said airspace over The Hague had been closed and residents in five streets close to the targeted apartment evacuated before the operation commenced.
